Mow lawns? Beg your parents?

Yep you can. Because you're not of working age, the regular jobs are out but be creative. You can babysit, clean houses ( that's what I've done for thirteen years, I work alone and make 25-30 dollars and hour at it plus no one likes to clean their own home really), do yard work, walk dogs, pet sit, go around your neighbor hood asking people to donate items they no long want but could be of use to someone else and have a monthly yard sale. Most people don't want to mess with a yard sale and you could possibly bring in a lot of cash from this stuff, wash cars. Man the list is endless and there isn't hardly anyone out there that wouldn't help a cute 12 year old out! Good for you to be so proactive!!!

Pay attention kid I'm going to tell you the secret of becoming a millionaire.
You are only 12. Convince your Mom and Dad to pay you $25 per week for allowance or whatever. Ask your dad to help you invest that money in mutual funds that yield at least 10% earning in periods of 10 years. If you start now by age 22 you will have $25,000...by age 32 $92,000...by age 42 $265,922. Now that's if you only continue to invest $25 a week or $100 a month.
Imagine if you by age 22 have $25,000 in the bank and start to invest $1,000 a month. By age 32 you will have $276,000 and by age 42 $1,000,000 that's 1 million kid by age 42.
I wish I had started when I was 12. Use the link below to play with other numbers and talk to your parents about it.
Best of luck.

Create your own job! Mow your neighborhood's lawns. Wash Cars. But you must have a license to walk peoples dogs, or babysit. There are books you can read. You can earn at least $20 a week. I babysit, so I'm loaded. Im 12 also!

Jobs.....and also get jars for every type of currency (like: 1 cent, 5 cents...) and make sure you at least make a penny if not a dollar each day......keep certain jars with you for things like picking up a penny off the street. Don't forget.....people leave a lot of money lying in the streets....all for the pickin'....so do that and have a spending day and before then, you should earn as much as you can.

My question is what need does a 12 year old have for "lots of cash?"

Do small errands for Senior Citizens, (that don't require a car of course), Mowing grass, raking leaves soon. At this age every thing is pretty much manual labor. A lemonade stand is never a bad idea. UNLESS YOU STAY IN COMPTON!

paper route
mow grass
shovel snow
clean garages for neighbors
clean basements for neighbors
clean windows
lemonade or similar stand
have bake or cookie sales
most states if not all states you have to be at least 15 before you can have a normal job. and even at 15 the hours are very limited and resticted.
You have the rest of you life to work, TRUST ME, just enjoy being a kid and having the rent, car payment, food, clothes, toiletries, etc all supplied for you.

Mow peoples yards, offer legitimate services through the paper, such as doing chores for the elderly.
